Brad Paisley: Whiskey Lullaby

She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart, he spent his whole life trying to forget
We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind, until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger
than the strength he had to get up off his knees.
We found him with his face down in the pillow,
With a note that said I love her till I die.
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby...


The rumours flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time,
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind until the night

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger
than the strength she had to get up off her knees.
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life.
We layed her next to him beneath the willow
while the angels sang a whiskey lullaby....
